I had mixed feelings about the first Kick-Ass film. I liked that it was showing what would really happen if someone actually decided to put on a costume and fight crime... but then the movie seemed to break its own rules when Hit Girl showed up. The sight of a little kid beating up grown men, doing back flips and reloading her guns in mid-air was anything but realistic and did not jibe with the vibe that had been set up. I have since watched the movie again and since I was ready for this, I wound up enjoying it a lot more the second time around. I'm not sure what to expect from the sequel, as I did not read the comics adaptation (a bit on the violent side for my tastes), but the brief footage I have seen so far looks interesting - even if they have left reality completely behind at this point.
I started watching the first one on Netflix and I shut it off a few minutes in.
ReplyDeleteI have a rule now about any film. If I can't watch it with my boys in the room, then I'm going to wait until they go to bed. ;) That kinda limits the rating level a bit.
Looks like Hit Girl's influence on the Titans would kinda be like Terra's - before Terra took them down for Deathstroke...
Like the cover but I can't see Hit Girl taking out any Titan ... ever.
ReplyDeleteCould you try to credit the artists when you can? The Hit Girl is fanart by Ricken, at least. http://ricken-art.deviantart.com/
ReplyDeleteMy bad, you have the artists in the tags. Totally missed that.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this idea very much.
ReplyDeleteWould not mind seeing a Hit-girl vs. Damien Robin.
